The summary describes a radiofrequency (RF) device for electrocoagulation and hemostasis. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms for decision-making or analysis. The performance studies focus on safety, effectiveness, and equivalence to predicate devices based on physical effects and tissue response.
Yes
The device description and intended use both state that the device is used for "electrocoagulation and hemostasis" and to "treat dermal conditions," indicating a therapeutic purpose.
No
Explanation: The device description states its intended use is for "electrocoagulation and hemostasis" through the generation of an "electro thermal reaction" to "coagulate the tissue" and "create heat within the target skin tissue." These actions describe therapeutic or surgical interventions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like a system main device, hand-piece, tip, and footswitch, and describes the delivery of an RF signal through these components to the target tissue.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis." This describes a procedure performed directly on a patient's tissue, not on a sample of biological material outside the body.
- Device Description: The description details how the device delivers RF energy to the target tissue using needles. This is a direct therapeutic or surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue biopsies, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The SCARLET SRF's function is to directly treat tissue through electrocoagulation and hemostasis.

Device Description
SCARLET SRF is basically an identical device with the 510(k)-cleared device CELFIRM™ (K172023).
The SCARLET SRF includes a system main device, a hand-piece equipped with a tip, and a footswitch. The RF signal is generated from the main device which is then delivered to the handpiece and then to consumable tip. The RF signal is delivered to the target tissue using penetrating needle electrodes in the tip. The tip is placed in light contact with the epidermis while the handpiece is being held at right angles to the target tissue. As the RF signal passes through the skin, it generates an electro thermal reaction which is capable of coagulating the tissue. Using the consumable tip, SCARLET SRF creates heat within the target skin tissue via needle electrodes from the consumable tip.

Summary of Performance Studies
Preclinical Test: The study was designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the subject device as a radiofrequency(RF) heating device to treat dermal conditions and hemostasis. Three (3) Yucatan Mini-pigs were used in this study. Animal 2162 was euthanized 3 h after treatment on Day 1; Animal 2163 was euthanized on Day 4; and Animals 2164 was euthanized on Day 22. The various treatment sites were then harvested and stored in a 10% NBF prior to histopathology evaluation. During the in-life stage, mortality, clinical observations and body weights were monitored and recorded. In addition, dermal Draize scores were recorded within 3-4 h of treatment, and on Days 3, 5, 13, and 22 in surviving animals.
Treatment with the subject device resulted in transient very slight to well-defined erythema noted within 3-4 h of treatment but fully resolved by the next Draize evaluation on Day 3. In addition, minimal to mild necrosis was noted in animals euthanized on Days 1 and 5 with the animal euthanized on Day 22 showing dermal fibrosis at the treatment sites. There were no other application-related findings.
Test results including histology data demonstrated that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in the market for its intended use.
Additional tests conducted: Sterilization Validation Test, Shelf life Validation Test, Biocompatibility Test, Software Validation Test, EMC & Electrical Safety Test, Max Output Energy.

Scarlet SRF
510(k) Summary
The subject device has been evaluated for electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety testing per applicable standards of IEC 60601-1:2005, IEC 6061-1-6:2010, IEC 60601-2-2:2009, EN 60601-1-2:2007, EN 6100-3-2:2006, and EN 6100-3-3:2008, and all results were passing.
Max Output Energy
The test on Max Output Energy per Electrode was performed on the subject device to evaluate the max energy per electrode. The test results were compared and evaluated with the standard values of maximum output energy per Electrode of the device. The test results met the pre-set criteria and validated the device performance specifications for max energy.
Preclinical Test
The study was designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the subject device as a radiofrequency(RF) heating device to treat dermal conditions and hemostasis. Three (3) Yucatan Mini-pigs were used in this study. Animal 2162 was euthanized 3 h after treatment on Day 1;
Animal 2163 was euthanized on Day 4; and Animals 2164 was euthanized on Day 22. The various treatment sites were then harvested and stored in a 10% NBF prior to histopathology evaluation. During the in-life stage, mortality, clinical observations and body weights were monitored and recorded. In addition, dermal Draize scores were recorded within 3-4 h of treatment, and on Days 3, 5, 13, and 22 in surviving animals.
Treatment with the subject device resulted in transient very slight to well-defined erythema noted within 3-4 h of treatment but fully resolved by the next Draize evaluation on Day 3. In addition, minimal to mild necrosis was noted in animals euthanized on Days 1 and 5 with the animal euthanized on Day 22 showing dermal fibrosis at the treatment sites. There were no other application-related findings.
Test results including histology data demonstrated that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in the market for its intended use.
8. Substantial Equivalence
The intended use of the SCARLET SRF is within the scope of the predicate device. SCARLET SRF, from both a design and clinical perspective, uses similar or identical technology as the cited predicate device and has the same intended uses. Based upon the predicted overall performance characteristics for the SCARLET SRF, VIOL Co., Ltd., believes that no significant differences exist in usage of its underlying technological principles between SCARLET SRF and the cited predicate device.
9. Conclusions
Based on the information provided in this premarket notification. VIOL Co., Ltd. concludes that the SCARLET SRF is substantially equivalent to the predicate device as described herein.
